How Digital Factory Works

Business units choose from a customized menu of digital solutions. An expert from the Topcoder Community called a copilot manages all crowdsourcing logistics, from launching and managing crowdsourcing competitions to hand-off of final deliverables, and community members with the right skills compete to develop the best solutions in each contest. The copilot keeps the project team abreast of milestones and next steps, and team members have an opportunity to review and sign off on all deliverables.
